Seems like he'd be cheap enough, but I'd be real worried about his durability. I fear he'd end up like Cedrick this year- OK for a bit, gets hurt, then we are looking at a horrible pile of committee backs

I just finally watched the whole thing from today..... I cried like a little baby again.
I REMEMBER that 1999 preseason and this skinny-legged wide-eyed, big smile, hustling longshot.

I also remember seeing him and his little guy Christian at our church here in Grapevine in the summer of 2006. I was amazed at how thin his legs were.... I have chicken legs. I think mine were a little thicker than his.

And this guy was rarely out injured, whereas so many of our big guys now break down like ***** glass plates.

I'm gonna miss Donald so much and I am so thankful for all the great memories he's given to us.
With class.

I know so many people nowadays worship money, jobs, famous people, etc.. But I respect Driver so much for thanking God and mentioning Jesus Christ. He's very much like Reggie White in that regard. Lombardi used to value that aspect of his men, so does McCarthy and Ted Thompson.

We don't find out until April, but if I could schedule it, here's what I have.
I give us a huge advantage over the 49ers with us having a bye week, and them a short week. Reverse the roles from the playoff week.
Also, I am reversing the injuriezzzz too. Our OL will be the one that has ZERO missed starts from our original 5 like those *****s amazingly had.
And instead of our starting ILB/OLB Bishop/Perry going out early, it will be their Willis/Brooks.
And they lose Dashon Goldson to a neck like we lost Collins.

I know we are not players in free agency, and I tell that to everyone. Don't get your hopes up.

But let me ax you guys this hypothetical: If Teddy was to surprise everyone and bring in a FA for a one-year guarantee with a team option after that.... which ONE of these guys would you prefer? Who would help this defense more?

These are names I have seen floating around, either FAs or released, about to be released perhaps, etc.

I want Matthews to get a new mega-deal BEFORE Rodgers does.
His current is up a year before Rodgers. Fair is fair.
And he's played for more of a bargain, for EVERY YEAR as a PACKER, than Rodgers current salary is.

Yea doesn't sound like it.. it wasn't a surprise he was cut I just hope AJ goes with him. I absolutely loved Woodson. Its been tough offseason for me... him, Jennings ( another big time favourite of mine) and Driver who everyone loves. It'll be weird.

I'm not a Packers fan, but there's something I'm curious about. With Woodson gone, does that mean GB goes to a straight 3-4 defense? Or will they keep the 2-4 D and replace CW with Jarrett Bush or Casey Hayward (who I read can also play a hybrid CB/S)?

his agent's quotes, etc seem to indicate both sides have agreed to just move on

Yeah, it sounds like this isn't just a money thing. The Packers want to get younger and faster on defense and Woodson understands that this is a business and these types of moves happen.

I grew up rooting for Michigan in the 90's, so I'm just happy as crap that I got to watch him dominate for both of my two favorite teams. His Heisman year was something I'll still remember when I'm old and in a nursing home. I've had a lot of fun watching him play over the years, and I hope he does well with his next team.

I think we may see more base 3-4 but it won't necessarily be because of Woodson's departure. It is hard to stop the run with only two down linemen and stopping the run was a big weakness last season. Trogvac made comments shortly after the season ended that they may need to bring in more traditional 3-4 ends.

The 2-4 will still be used and McMillian probably has the most potential for that hybrid DB/LB role but will be in only his second year.
